Lyrics Elijah, Pt. 1: "For He shall give His angels charge" - Edinburgh Festival Chorus feat. Patricia Bardon, Renée Fleming, John Mark Ainsley, Libby Crabtree, Sara Fulgoni, John Bowen, Geoffrey Moses, Neal Davies, Stephen Doughty, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment & Paul Daniel

For he shall give his angels charge over thee
And they shall protect thee in all the ways thou goest
For he shall give his angels charge over thee
And they shall protect thee- And they shall
Protect thee- in all the ways thou goest
In all the ways thou goest
For he shall give his angels charge over thee
And their hands shall uphold and guide thee- And their
Hands shall uphold and guide thee- And their hands
Shall uphold and guide thee- As thou doest to those
Around thee, and keep thy steps on the straight path
For he shall give his angels charge over thee
And their hands shall uphold and guide thee- And their hands shall
Uphold and guide thee- And their hands shall uphold and guide thee-
As thee shall go- As thee shall go- And they
Shall protect thee- In all the ways thou goest-
In all the ways thou goest- Shall protect thee
They shall protect thee
They shall protect thee
They shall protect thee
Now Karetz brook is dried up
Elijah, arise and depart, and get thee to Zarephath: thither abide
For the Lord hath commanded a widow there to sustain thee: and
The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the clothes off
Oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth
